Comic 463 - The Calm

Author Notes:

Well, here we are! The final page of 2017! I know it's not much of a cliffhanger this year, but hey! Maybe that's for the best.

In case you missed what I said on the last page, here's what's going on:
This page is the last page going up in 2017, as I'm now taking my Annual Winter Break! I'll be on break until Friday, January 12th- A little under one month from when I'm posting this. At that time, updates will continue as regularly scheduled on Tuesdays and Fridays up until the end of the ball!

Once we reach the end of the ball... Things start getting a little experimental! I'm very exited for what I intend to do in 2018, and I hope you all look forward to a lot of surprises! One thing at a time though- I'll tell you more about my post-ball plans once we get there.

For now, what else is there to say? If you need to reach me during my break, you can comment here, or for more casual conversation you can always join the DotX Discord server! (Link below.) I'll try to respond more here than I have been lately though! Sorry about that!

SkyJam will continue updating as per usual during my break, and though the holidays are a busy time for me, I'll try to squeeze so streams in as well! I'm also on Tumblr via my art blog, if you need to reach out to me there! All of these are linked just below this text.

As always, I am endlessly appreciative of anyone who buys from the DotX store, or anyone who chooses to support me on Patreon!
(Patreon had made a few rough changes to the system recently, but they've just undone all that and things are back to the tried-and-true system!)

I guess that's it for now! If I think of anything else that NEEDS to be said I'll edit it in under this paragraph.
Thank you all so much for reading DotX, and for stick(y)ing with me for another year!! (Or if you just started reading this year, thank you for staying around!) As always, I wouldn't be doing ANY of this without all of you enjoying it, so thank you all for giving me this opportunity! Happy Holidays!!! ^_^

EDIT: 1/8/2018

It's my birthday! I'm still recovering from having my appendix removed, and so I AM going to have to push back the next page to Tuesday the 12th. I'm sorry to make you wait more!

Comments:

This chapter's been going on for more than two years!!! This entire journey's been super fun, and as you thank us for sticking with you, I thank you you for stick(y)ing with us. You could have stopped this whole thing at any time because it was just too much to deal with, but you didn't, and I (and I'm sure everyone else) appreciate that. I'll try to support you as much as I can, but in the mean-time, Happy Holidays!!!
And Happy Holidays to everyone else too!!

@Ninsega21:
Right back at you! I'll be back again on New Year's as well!

@Tanooki:
Hah, is it possible that Banana is both of those things??

@Some Dude:
Thank you, and you're right! Mi's just coming around to taking stock of his injuries. Someone help him find that tooth.

@SecretKeeper626:
Same to you, SEK!

@Void:
Nearly! I checked when I read this, we're a good 40ish pages away from that though! Will we get there?

@Timothy:
Thank you!!! I'm glad it's landing such an impact ^_^

@Zenpai:
Those two panels actually fought it out for which should be the punchline at the end of the page!

@Lefty:
Gone too soon

@TheTyGuy:
Thank you so much! Seriously that means a ton to me. It that kind of support from you, and everyone that makes this all worth it! This is exactly what I'm talking about!
I'm determined to make 2018 the best year ever for my comics- I wont let you down! I'm in this for the long haul for sure! ^_^

Hello everyone! Over the last few days I had my appendix removed, due to some unexpected health issues. I'm finally back home and recovering, but I'm still in a lot of post-surgery pain and I can't sit upright for long periods of time. This is normal! I've been told I'll be back to my old self in about a week, unless anything comes up.

This SHOULDN'T impact DotX's return, but it might. Not to get graphic but I had some trouble holding down water last night, so hopefully that wont be the case again tonight. I have faith that I'll be fine before I know it, but just in case, I wanted you all to have this heads up that there might be a slight delay on DotX. We'll see!
